Zhanbolat Shakhmov is an Acting Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University (Astana, Kazakhstan). He received his PhD in Civil Engineering in 2014 and the academic title of Associate Professor in Civil Engineering in 2021. His research focuses on geotechnics and foundation engineering, including driven piles made of high-strength concrete with modified additives from industrial wastes, frost penetration and frost heave of soils, and temperature effects on soil–structure interaction.
He has an h-index of 11 in Scopus and 7 in Web of Science, and is the author of the monograph Temperature Effects to Soil Ground and Structure Sustainability (2024). He is the Principal Investigator of research project AP22683302 (2024–2026), funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and holds a copyright certificate for a technology of variable-section piles with increased bearing capacity. In 2020 he was awarded the State Scientific Scholarship of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Alongside his academic work, he practises as an expert in technical survey of buildings and structures and in structural review of design documentation. He teaches master's and doctoral courses on foundation design in complex ground conditions, dynamics and stability of structures, geotechnics in seismic regions, and forensic structural engineering.
